On what basis has it not reduced crime? Having cameras can be a major deterrent, so how do they know that it hasn't. More importantly, general crime is one issue eg theft, but how many assaults have happened since they were installed? If the answer is none, they could be more than effective.

According to a visiting UN official, Australia is marred by racism, and that hate speech is on the rise. UN Special Reporter, Mutuma Ruteere, has called for mainstream politics to denounce politicians like Pauline Hanson who express views that in his opinion are racist.

Reddit users have revealed the creepy things they've seen families doing. The most common were family members kissing each other like Victoria Beckham and her daughter, however, most Redditors said the tradition carried on until adulthood.

I dont think theres anything wrong with giving your son or daughter a peck on the lips if they're actually a small child, but being an older child say age 10 and up i think its weird to kiss them on the lips

A large rise in cats requiring blood transfusions has led to a Perth veterinary hospital setting up a blood donation centre for felines. It is similar to human blood donation, however, this is a whole day procedure for cats as they need to undergo anaesthesia.

The wife of a convicted Islamic State recruiter could be the first person in NSW to be charged for not standing in court. Moutia Elzahed could be charged under the new disrespectful behaviour in court law, which has a maximum penalty of 14 days in jail, or an $1,100 dollar fine.

The CCTV cameras that assisted in finding the murderer of Jill Meagher may be turned off. An independent review has found that the cameras haven't reduced crime, regularly malfunction and are too expensive to run. The footage of Jill walking past a private business played an integral part in solving her murder and clearing her husband, Tom who was a prime suspect at the time.

An audit of the NSW hospital system has revealed that doctors are working very long hours, emergency departments aren't coping, and serious mistakes are being made in surgeries.

Eloping is becoming more and more common amongst couples; with the factors of getting married far away from family and friends becoming more desirable. However, this raises a tricky problem for those who weren't invited.

One writer says he won't be donating to The Salvos this year because of their stance on the 'Safe Schools' Program, which covers issues like homophobic bullying and discrimination. Is this fair? #Studio10

The NSW government will relax its controversial lockout laws by half-an-hour, making lockout times at 2am instead of 1:30am and bottle shops allowed to stay open until 11pm. Will this really make a difference? #Studio10

Commentator Andrew Street says he won't be donating any money to the Salvation Army this Christmas because of their announcement that they don't support the 'Safe Schools' Program, which covers issues like homophobic bullying and discrimination.
